Use it alongside your question bank
UWorld, Archer and other banks test you with case-based questions. They assume the basics are already automatic. This deck is for that layer: say the antidote, the class or the lab out loud until you don’t have to think about it.
Practicing NCLEX in English
If you trained as a nurse outside the US, speaking drug names and answers out loud is also practice for the English you will use on the unit. same3le listens in English, so you hear the question, say the answer and see what it heard.
